Hi! I'm new, so I hope I post this where it belongs. I have a few questions regarding skill checking and card playing...
My character, Valeros, is using his Strength skill for a combat check (d10 Melee +3). So I add that to Valeros' check.
1: If I reveal a Longsword, it tells me I can roll my Strength or Melee die + 1d8. Does this mean I can add another (d10 melee +3) and a +1d8 to my existing strength roll? This seems excessive to me and I think I'm playing this wrong.
2: Also, regarding the Longsword, the text begins, "For your combat check", does this mean I cannot use the Longsword when it is someone else's turn? Only when I encounter a monster on my turn?
Thanks to anyone who can help me! :)
